Idols SA finalist Mmatema Moremi seems to be mastering the art of being careful with her answers.
The singer, who has promised fans some great music, was on Bonang Matheba's Metro FM show, The Front Row, on Wednesday morning.
Queen B asked her what her thoughts are on Gareth Cliff being removed from the Idols judging panel. Gareth was sacked following his tweet regarding the Penny Sparrow saga.

I always looked forward to hearing what he had say..."
After that response, Bonang said: "Very safe answer, you're gonna go very far in this industry." We completely agree.
